The Drag-Nana-Smash

[IceDragonTwins]

I've seen people who can do an over B with popo while nana runs alongside charging an Fsmash or Dsmash.

I know it starts with a side dodge but from there I can't get it.

I've been trying to charge first then forward b (still holding A) but It fails

A little assitance, any one?

Do a ground dodge and hold forward-A. When it stops Nana will start charging. Now while holding A, do forward-B. Let go of A to release the smash.

Much thanks, I think I got it now.
Are there any other cool things like that you can do (Other than chai grabs and basic desynchs like ice shots) ?

I have this edgeguarding tecchnique that I call the double edgeguard. Facing away from the stage, do a ground dodge while holding down-A. Nana will start charging a down-smash. Now, while holding A, WD to edgeguard. Now of they hit you when your edgehogging, release the down-smash and send them out again!

no offense nintendo addict but that technique has already been discovered and popularized (by Cory i think?) and its more for show than anything else. once you grab the edge from the wavedash nana will release her smash, so for it to be effective you have to time when you start the downdodge and when you wavedash, and in the end, its just easier to edgehog and then attack.

And i wouldnt really work on forward B smash very much. Not only is it pretty useless because the forward B is only used for recovery, but youd probably have to spend your time with nana protecting popo while he is completely defenseless. its a show move.

as usual no one reads my posts unless I type in bold and all caps but i'll give it one last shot the normal way.....



you can have nana follow you with a charged smash while popo does his fwd+b without sidestepping or rolling actually there are a couple of other ways to de-sync them...


ok for the first one just tap A once... (it can be done in the air just adjust to the aerial timing)
once nana finishes press fwd+b at the end
if you time it right popo will only do the fwd+b without nana
leaving her free to do what you want her to do....



another way to desync in case you don't want to have popo do a fwd+b is to do one neutral A on the ground

then after he is done hold the opposite direction you are facing and press a again
thie time only popo will do his fwd tilt the opposite direction leaving nana ready to be used
if you don't input something for her b4 popo finishes his fwd tilt she won't do it afterwards...
it has to happen during the tilt...




YOU BETTER READ IT THIS TIME YOU EVIL, EVIL LITTLE BOARD ROAMERS!!!!

i'm sorry philly : ( don't hate me...

and to elhinaw: it's actually quite effective, you just have to get the timing on your opponent's recovery down or train them properly : p get them used to just edgehogging, then bust out the OMGWTFPNWZ0T nana combo and laugh as they cry because both recovery options are gone and they can't stall out that extra second anymore.

The drag smash is pretty decent, but I prefer side-dodging and then doing the de-synched nana blizzard or an Ice block if they are further away, and then foward b. If your opponent shields the blizzard or block, then your foward b will force them to stay shielded until popo stops spinning, and while popo is spinning nana will be finished with her attack, so you can either smash them which will most likely get past their shield if they have already had to shield the blizzard and the foward b, or make her do another blizzard and then smash with popo. Or you can just have nana grab them or something.
